Survival Instinct // Namkook

chapter 49 - Suga's lover

The days had passed in a comfortable rhythm. Hoseok found himself enjoying the work on the farm, growing closer to Taehyung with each chaotic, often hilarious, conversation. There was something oddly endearing about the man’s scattered thoughts, and Hoseok found peace in their daily routine.

Namjoon, on the other hand, was helping Yoongi more and more with organizing the gang. He was growing familiar with the city’s inner workings, the way Yoongi managed to keep things running smoothly. Despite the rough exterior and his cold demeanor, Yoongi’s mind was sharp, and Namjoon couldn’t help but respect that. He found peace in the few words they shared and the analytical thinking they seemed to have in common. It seemed the two of them were understanding each other perfectly, their character trades similar— like they had never been seperated.

Jungkook, ever curious and eager to learn, had thrown himself into working with the mechanics. He was picking up skills quickly, loving every minute of it. The satisfaction of fixing things, bringing machines back to life, was a different kind of thrill.

That morning, like every other, the three of them sat together for breakfast in the common room. They had fallen into a habit of eating together in the morning and afternoon, exchanging stories about their days, laughing about Taehyung’s latest antics or the odd quirks of some gang members.

As they were eating, a sudden commotion outside caught their attention. Voices rose in excitement, and the three exchanged curious glances before Hoseok stood up, walking toward the window. “What’s going on out there?”

Jungkook and Namjoon followed, peeking through the window. Outside, a few cars had pulled up, and a group of men and women were getting out, greeting some of the gang members with cheerful handshakes and pats on the back. It was clear that these were familiar faces, though neither of the three recognized them.

Yoongi appeared a moment later, walking out from the building to greet the newcomers. Namjoon’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching Yoongi’s posture, how relaxed he seemed compared to his usual tense self.

Then, without warning, a young man jumped out of one of the jeeps. He bolted across the open space toward Yoongi, and before anyone could react, he leaped into Yoongi’s arms.

The three of them froze, their eyes widening in surprise.

The man was laughing, wrapping his arms tightly around Yoongi, who for once seemed caught off guard but quickly responded, holding the man just as tightly. Then, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, the two kissed, right there in front of everyone.

Jungkook blinked, stunned. “Wait… what?”

Hoseok leaned closer to the window, his eyes darting between Yoongi and the man in disbelief. “Is that…?”

Namjoon too was taken aback, though he tried to mask his surprise. Yoongi had never mentioned anything about someone special, and yet, there he was—kissing this man like they were long-lost lovers.

“They… know each other pretty well, huh?” Jungkook mumbled, his face still a mix of shock and curiosity.

Namjoon didn’t respond immediately. His mind raced, processing the sight in front of him. The warmth in Yoongi’s expression was unlike anything he’d seen before. There was a softness there that he hadn’t thought Yoongi was capable of anymore.

“I guess we’re seeing a side of Yoongi we didn’t know existed,” Namjoon finally muttered, though his voice carried a strange mix of amusement and something deeper—something almost like understanding.

They watched as Yoongi pulled away from the kiss, his expression softer than ever as he looked at the man who was still clinging to him. The two exchanged a few quiet words before Yoongi led him back toward the headquarters.

A tense silence lingered between the tree observers, neither of them knowing what to say.

“Well, that was unexpected,” Hoseok murmured after some time, finally breaking the silence.

Jungkook let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, still staring at the space outside where the two stood a few minutes ago. “Yeah....I didn't even know he was capable of smiling...”

Namjoon glanced at the two, his lips quirking into a small smile. “I guess Yoongi has a personal life after all.”
